    Commissioned through The Clay Studio, Philadelphia and co-curated by Jody Clowes, Jo Lauria, John Perreault and Judith Tannenbaum, Ceramic Interactions is sited at three venerable Philadelphia institutions (The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Eastern State Penitentiary and University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology). Ceramic Interactions involved the commissioning of new works in response to a piece, collection or space housed within each venue. Through these proposed encounters, artists will interact with historical work or spaces to discover new meanings and formal strategies. The artists' work offers each institution - and its public - an expanded or new context for seeing, interpreting or experiencing their collections or the way they perceive their space.

    This show is one of over 90 exhibitions that are part of INDEPENDENCE: The 44th Annual NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) conference taking place in Philadelphia from March 31 – April 3, 2010 hosted by The Clay Studio.
